45: Chapter 45 Su Mu VS Guan Yue
Without any surprises, after a spear flick, Su Mu's spear tip pointed directly at Luo Zhenyue's throat.
"I yield!"
After winning, Su Mu didn't say any trash talk; he simply said, "I yield."
On the other side, Luo Zhenyue's expression showed no sadness; instead, there was an irrepressible excitement in the depths of his eyes.
"I'm convinced by my defeat; your spear is still faster!"
Fortunately, both of them showed restraint. Although Luo Zhenyue lost, he wasn't injured; after resting for a while, he could continue to challenge other arenas.
The playground fell silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous applause, simply because the battle between the two was extremely exciting.
Throwing one punch to open the way saves one from a hundred punches coming later.
Because of this battle, basically no one challenged Su Mu afterwards.
Occasionally, one or two students would challenge him, but they were those who had no hope of advancing and challenged Su Mu with the mindset of seeking guidance.
Naturally, the strength of such students was on the weaker side among the 190 people.
The battles ended without much effort.
In the second stage, Su Mu advanced without much exertion.
After the second stage ended, the students who successfully defended their arenas didn't need to step down; they just stood there.
After a 10-minute break, the arenas on the playground began to slowly change.
Soon, the 16 arenas transformed into 8 much larger ones.
Standing on the same arena as Su Mu was a long-haired girl. Her appearance wasn't particularly distinctive, just that of an ordinary eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.
However, it was worth mentioning that this girl also used a spear.
The host's voice rang out from the surrounding loudspeakers.
"Congratulations to all students for successfully entering the third round of the Freshman Competition. Next, you must defeat the opponent on the same arena."
After hearing the host's words, Su Mu looked at the girl on the other side of the arena.
"Hello, classmate. My name is Gu Linxi. Please guide me!"
After saying that, she cupped her fists and bowed to Su Mu.
It is impolite not to reciprocate.
"Hello, Classmate Gu! My name is Su Mu. Please guide me!"
As they were both spear-wielding awakened, Su Mu found the battle relatively easy.
After a few brief spear exchanges, Su Mu flicked the girl's spear away.
"I yield!"
After her spear left her hand, the girl didn't immediately step down. Instead, she looked at Su Mu somewhat bashfully.
"That... um... Classmate Su, can I add your contact information?"
"Huh?"
He was completely dumbfounded on the spot!
In the end, Su Mu still added the girl's contact information.
The girl walked off the arena satisfied.
After the round of sixteen matches ended, there was another 10-minute break.
Su Mu was very relaxed and simply sat cross-legged to begin cultivating. Unexpectedly, his opponent for the quarter-finals was actually Luo Zhenyue.
After the Little Monk lost to Su Mu, he switched arenas and actually managed to secure a spot for advancement relying on his fist techniques.
Seeing that his opponent was Su Mu again, Luo Zhenyue didn't even think before jumping straight off the arena.
Su Mu opened his eyes to take a look, then continued cultivating.
What a joke, it had been nearly an hour; he couldn't just stand on the arena dazed!
In the stands, Mu Feng opened her phone and clicked on the Yang Family Apprenticeship Group.
Mu Feng: Junior Brother is about to fall asleep at the Freshman Competition.
Mu Feng: [Image].jpg
Eldest Senior Brother: He's sleeping quite soundly [Funny Face]
Sixth Senior Sister: Junior Brother is actually quite handsome! [Smitten]
Fifth Senior Brother: Looking at this, he's already in the top four, right? Just two more matches and he can take the championship.
Sixth Senior Sister: @Mu Feng, remember to livestream the moment Junior Brother wins.
Mu Feng: I don't know if Junior Brother can win the championship yet [Wry Smile]
Fifth Senior Brother: Isn't it a sure thing? It's not like he's Old Fourth.
Fourth Senior Brother: [Bitter]
Mu Feng looked at her phone and kept giggling foolishly.
Standing next to her, Fan Yi, the Vice President of the Spear Technique Club, couldn't help but feel his heart flutter seeing Mu Feng's smiling face.
"Xiao Feng, what are you looking at? You're so happy."
In an instant, Mu Feng's face became exceptionally cold, and she turned off her phone screen.
"Fan Yi, I've said we aren't close. You've crossed the line!"
Fan Yi's face twisted. "Mu Feng, do you have a boyfriend?"
Mu Feng was already very impatient. "Whether I find a boyfriend or not has nothing to do with you!"
"Then it seems so. You rejected me because you've taken a fancy to that pretty boy, right?"
As he spoke, Fan Yi opened his phone and pulled up a photo. In the photo, a man and a woman were walking side by side in the night.
The photo was of her and Su Mu that night when they left the school gate together.
Mu Feng glanced at the photo, then looked at Fan Yi as if he were a speck of dust.
She left directly without looking back. There was no need to watch; in her opinion, Su Mu couldn't possibly lose.
However, before leaving, she still sent a message to Yang Wendao.
Of course, it wasn't to report to Yang Wendao before leaving.
Mu Feng: Old man, remember to take a photo after Junior Brother wins the championship.
Old Man Yang: Received.
Seeing Mu Feng leave without looking back, not even finishing an explanation, he stomped his feet in anger.
"Stupid bitch, stupid bitch. Just because you took a good teacher, you act all high and mighty all day long.
You like that pretty boy down there, don't you? Watch how I handle him."
Fan Yi gave a sinister look at Su Mu, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating on the arena.
"Elder Yang? How come you're playing with your phone too?"
Principal Lin He joked.
"It's nothing, my little ancestor is assigning me tasks!"
Principal Lin He rolled her eyes and secretly cursed 'Old lecher!' However, she was somewhat envious. When it came to taking disciples, no one could truly compare to Yang Wendao.
She also really wanted to take an excellent disciple, but on one hand, her talent was a Wood-attribute A-grade talent, the Azure Sacred Wood.
It was a wood-type talent with extremely powerful restorative power, belonging to the healing class of awakened.
Leaving aside that most healing awakened were functional types, very few elemental awakened chose to follow the path of a healer.
So so far, Principal Lin He still didn't have a single disciple. She had encountered a few wood-attribute awakened before.
But as soon as she mentioned giving up combat training to switch to the healer's path, they all expressed their unwillingness to become her disciple.
Yang Wendao looked at his old colleague's distressed face and sighed inwardly.
Having worked together for many years, he naturally knew that Principal Lin He, known as the Saintly Healer, was very troubled by not having a successor.
However, he had no solution either.
"Xiao He! I'll show you something good in a couple of days."
Both were Vice Principals and should technically be of the same rank. However, Principal Lin He was younger after all, and they had a good relationship.
So Yang Wendao usually called Principal Lin He 'Xiao He'.
Lin He was still feeling sentimental, but hearing Yang Wendao's words, she couldn't help but be a bit confused.
"What good thing?"
"A combat technique that can change the current medical system."
When he said this, Yang Wendao's tone carried a hint of pride, and his eyes seemed to shine.
Last night, Yang Wendao had successfully reached the entry level of the combat technique. However, what shocked him the most was...
The Eye of Prediction could actually see the hidden injuries left from his wounds years ago. Although they were extremely faint, he did indeed see them.
This meant that this combat technique could not only treat wounds but also heal hidden injuries.
Thinking of the vast nation of Huaxia, every year on the beast battlefields, countless warriors could no longer fight due to damaged meridians.
Now with this combat technique, it was like countless warriors appearing out of thin air.
Yang Wendao was still fantasizing about the changes on the front line after this combat technique became widespread.
On the playground, Su Mu held his spear with both hands in a vertical stance. Standing opposite him was someone with outstanding looks wearing a light green tight-fitting battle suit.
And that figure... it was quite impressive.
This girl was Guan Yue from Villa 002.
At this moment, she assumed a starting stance with a single-handed vertical Glaive.
